Answer: We recommend at least seven complete outfits. Appropriate clothing is usually considered to be slacks, shirts or tops, dresses, sweatsuits, sweater, nightgown/sleepwear, and underwear. Shoes or slippers should have nonslip soles. As a general rule, clothing should be roomy and have large enough openings that they can be put on and removed with a minimum of stress to both the resident and the clothing. 1. Personal laundry service is provided by the facility. 2. Clothing should be machine washable and dryable. 3. Each item of clothing should be indelibly marked with the resident’s name (first initial and last name). 4. Families should expect to assist in maintaining the resident’s wardrobe.
